Does anybody know of a 3rd party manufacturer that's making alternatives to the stock earbuds?
I would love to have some in canal earphones with a mic built in like the stock ones.
I saw that Shure has a piece coming out in August that plugs into the iPhone, has a mic and you can then plug any headphones into them, but I don't know of any available now.

The stock earbuds suck!
They sound alright, but will not stay in my ears if I move much at all. They're driving me nuts.
I can't believe some company didn't have an alternative solution ready at launch.

I just picked up a pair of V-Moda Vibe Duo's from the local Apple Store. Cost $100. They are same as the original Vibes but have an integrated mic. I feel the black color is better also. Sound quality is excellent. These headphones sit inside the ear canal, so you need to be aware of that if you haven't used canal phones before.

Called my wife on them and she couldn't tell the difference whether I was speaking through the phone or the headphone mic.

Thanks for the information.
I saw in another post somewhere that you can't control your music with the mic switch as on the stock ones. Is that true?
Also, does the music fade out when you get a call and then fade back in when you disconnect?

Just bought the shure's and will be returning them today my iPhone has a problem with the headphone jack, also the with the shures you can't control the song's which would been a big plus for me, so now im using my 640 plantronics which paired easy.

Even if the plus "seems" to fit, it's most likely not connected all the way. I had the same problem with my Jay D-Jays. They looked like they were all the way pushed down, but the jack just wasn't long enough.
